Costa Rica #5 Arenal On the slopes of the Arenal volcano, these Rufous Tailed Hummingbirds were in and out of the flower beds in the grounds of the hotel where we were staying. #costaricawildlife #Rainforest #hummingbird #ArenalVolcano #OM1 #tropicalbirds

Costa Rica #4 Not to be outdone by the birds, the mammals of Torteguero National Park are equally as impressive. This Dwarf Hairy Porcupine came climbing through the forest canopy right outside our room #costaricawildlife #TortugueroNationalPark #porcupine #om1 #Rainforest

Costa Rica #3 The water birds of the Torteguero National Park were incredible, living on fallen trees or rafts of floating vegetation Blue Heron, Green heron, Tiger Heron both adult and Juvenile, Northern Jaçana and Purple Gallinule #costaricawildlife #TortugueroNationalPark

Costa Rica #2 Once back on dry land reaching our room @evergreenlodge after a two hour boat ride, these White Faced Capuchin monkeys entertained us in the rain forest right around our room. #costaricawildlife #TortugueroNationalPark #Rainforest #OM1 #capuchinmonkey

first stop on our Costa Rica adventure, Torteguero is an area of tropical rain forest on the Caribbean coastline of CR. this fifteen foot Crocodile was just sitting on the bank sunning itself and minding its business until we pulled along side. #costarica #rainforest #torteguero

On those rare days of sunshine in Wales this year even the Tufted Ducks at WWT Llanelli can take on a whole new colour palette... Stunning birds @WTSWW @RSPBCymru @BBCSpringwatch @BTO_Carms #tuftedduck #bbcwildlifepotd #om1

Beautiful Bullfinches in yesterdays sunshine at WWT Llanelli Wetland Centre..... beautiful birds feeding on the buds on the trees.... @birdsinwales @WTSWW_Swansea @BTO_Carms @RSPBCymru #bullfinch #om1 #wwtllanelli #bbcwildlifepotd #welshwildlife #welshbirds

More new visitors to the garden over the last few days, a pair of Blackcaps and a female Bullfinch (through the double glazing). Must be the freezing weather bringing them into the gardens from the nearby farmland @RSPBCymru @WTSWW @BBCSpringwatch #blackcap #bullfinch #om1

Travelled over the border yesterday to capture these images of stunning Hawfinches. The largest finch in the UK sadly red listed now they are quite scarce and difficult to spot despite their size... @Natures_Voice @_BTO @BBCSpringwatch @BBCCountryfile #hawfinch #om1 #ukbirding

@davidlewis642 Cracking bud, good afternoon!

Amongst the 30 or so Goldfinches on our feeders this morning it was lovely to see at least four Greenfinches for the first time in the garden. @RSPBCymru @birdsinwales @WTSWW @BTO_Cymru #greenfich #om1 #gardenwildlife #gardenbirds

A lifetime tick for me, this Glossy Ibis wasn't in the slightest bit bothered by the small group watching in Llanelli today. a stunning bird close up even if the light was dull and grey... Big thanks to @RichardCleobury for the heads up, @WTSWW @BTO_Cymru @RSPBCymru

@neild1962 That's a belter mate 👍🏻

So after breakfast with my old work butties, I took a stroll down the River Ogmore to see if the Goldeneye were in residence... in glorious sunshine they didn't disappoint @RSPBCymru @WTSWW @BTO_WestGlam #goldeneye #ukducks #welshwildlife #BBCWildlifePOTD

Great Spotted Woodpecker and fledgling from warmer days during last summer. Beautiful and surprisingly vocal birds..... @RSPBCymru @WTSWW @BTO_Cymru @BBCSpringwatch #gsw #woodpecker #welshwildlife

Some more Red Squirrels from The Dingle on Anglesey a month or two ago, does it get much cuter ?? #om1 #redsquirrel #thedingle #anglesey #welshwildlife #redsquirrelconservation

its dull, its grey and misty so here is a bit of colour from a trip to Madeira in the summer. The white Peacock was a first for me but the blue version was amazing , both of which were trying to impress the ladies with some impressive tail fluttering !! #peacock #om1 #madeira

Goosanders of Kidwelly Quay a couple of weeks ago when it wasn't raining !! Not sure who was watching who at one point... stunning birds up close.. @RSPBCymru @BTO_Carms @WTSWW @birdsinwales #goosander #carmarthenshire #om1 #kidwellyquay

Can't have enough Little Owl shots, these images from a great trip in the summer, a more photogenic bird you'll struggle to find IMO... you can almost hear him shouting "Geronimo" as he dives from the tree .... @RSPBCymru @WTSWW @birdsinwales #littleowl #BBCWildlifePOTD #om1

Positively prehistoric !! Grey Heron from the Welsh Wildlife Centre in Cilgarren, Cardigan... Love them or hate them they are magnificent birds... @RSPBCymru @WTSWW @BTO_Cymru @Welshwildlife #heron #om1 #birdphotography #BBCWildlifePOTD
